Question 1173462: Translate into an inequality
Last year, 8th grade students sold t-shirts for a fundraiser. Let t represent the number of t-shirts sold last year. This year, the 8th grade students plan to sell 40 more than twice the number of t-shirts sold last year. Their goal is to sell at least 250 shirts. Write an inequality you can use to determine the the possible number of shirts sold last year (t).

t = number sold last year

2t+40 = 40 more than twice the number sold last year = the number to be sold this year

The number sold this year is to be at least (i.e., greater than or equal to) 250:

2t%2B40+%3E=+250
